All Strapped In Tank by Noelle Souza
What is Being Made
The All Strapped In Tank is a cropped knit tank top designed by Noelle Souza and published by The Creative Critter. This garment features a flattering, cropped silhouette with distinctive strappy details and chunky ribbing at the hem. The pattern is available in nine sizes ranging from XS to 5XL, making it accessible for a wide range of body types. The designer demonstrates the XL size, which features a 44" bust measurement.
Techniques Used
This knitting pattern employs knitting in the round as its primary construction method, which creates seamless fabric and allows for efficient stitch work. The strappy design elements and structured fit require careful attention to shaping and stitch placement throughout the project. The pattern uses ribbed knit techniques, particularly for the chunky rib detail at the bottom of the tank, which provides both visual interest and functional stretch to the garment.
Stitches Used
While specific stitch abbreviations are not detailed in the provided pattern excerpt, the construction relies on fundamental knit stitches worked in the round. The chunky ribbing at the hem is a key textural element that contrasts with the main body of the tank.
Materials and Yarn
- Yarn: Lion Brand Truboo or another DK weight yarn (category 3). Yardage requirements range from approximately 482 yards for the smallest sizes (XS and S) up to 1,205 yards for the largest size (5XL). The pattern requires 2 to 5 balls depending on the chosen size.
- Needles: Size US 6/4mm circular needles (24"/60 cm long) and Size US 4/3.5mm circular needles (24"/60 cm long) for ribbed sections
- Notions: 2 locking stitch markers, a darning needle for finishing, and scrap yarn or a stitch holder for securing stitches
Gauge and Difficulty
The pattern specifies a gauge of 23 stitches by 30 rows when knitted in the round on larger needles, measured over a 4-inch square. This is classified as Advanced Beginner difficulty, indicating that while the pattern is suitable for knitters with some experience, it remains accessible to those progressing beyond absolute beginner level. The straightforward construction and use of circular needles make this an ideal intermediate project for developing knitting skills.
